Abstract

Objective: We investigated whether the Valsalva maneuver helpsdetect any further bleeding points following adequate hemostasisin tonsillectomy. Methods: This was a prospective study of consecutive patients whounderwent tonsillectomy performed in a tertiary medical center.The data collected included age, gender, method of operation, andhemorrhage (if any) informations. Immediately after completingthe surgery, hemostasis was performed by an anesthesiologist usingthe Valsalva maneuver to identify bleeding points. Intraoperativeand postoperative hemorrhage, as well as the treatment applied,were recorded. Results: One hundred twenty patients underwent tonsillectomy(53 males and 67 females). Tonsillectomy was performed using colddissection in 59 patients (26 males and 33 females) and bipolardiathermy in 61 patients (27 males and 34 females). The differencesin intraoperative hemorrhage following Valsalva were significantlyhigher in the cold dissection group than in the hot (bipolar) group(p=0.044). Tonsillectomy using bipolar cautery had a statisticallysignificantly higher postoperative hemorrhage rate than that usingcold dissection (p

Özet

Amaç: Tonsillektomide yeterli hemostazı takiben Valsalva manevrasının başka kanama noktalarını bulma konusunda yardımcı olup olmadığını araştırdık. Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, bir üçüncü basamak tıp merkezinde tonsillektomi uygulanan hastaların dahil edildiği prospektif bir çalışmadır. Toplanan veriler arasında yaş, cinsiyet gibi demografik veriler ve operasyon yöntemi ile kanama (varsa) bilgisi mevcuttu. Ameliyatı tamamladıktan hemen sonra kanama noktalarını belirlemek için anestezi uzmanı tarafından Valsalva manevrası ile hemostaz uygulandı. İntraoperatif ve postoperatif kanama ve uygulanan tedavi kaydedildi. Bulgular: Toplamda 120 hastaya tonsillektomi yapıldı (53 erkek ve 67 kadın). Tonsillektomi 59 hastada (26 erkek, 33 kadın) soğuk diseksiyon ve 61 hastada (27 erkek ve 34 kadın) bipolar diatermi kullanılarak yapıldı. Valsalva’yı takiben intraoperatif kanama farklılıkları, soğuk diseksiyon grubunda sıcak (bipolar) gruba göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p=0,044). Bipolar koter kullanılarak yapılan tonsillektomide, soğuk diseksiyon kullanılarak yapılan tonsillektomiye göre postoperatif kanama oranı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p
